Chapter 774 Physical Body Possession
Lawrend stared at him with an eye that was looking at an already dead man.
He had only thought about this idea now. He would find out in a moment if his idea was correct!
"O' Gilgamesh, become my planet!" Lawrend chanted.
"Huh?"
Gilgamesh was stunned at what Lawrend told him to become into. There was still astronomy in the Demon World, so he knew about planets.
But then a shocking thing happened to him. He found that the molten liquid seeped into the pores of his skin and entered his blood vessels. His whole body spasmed as the foreign mana controlled by Lawrend wreaked havoc inside of his body.
"Die!"
The sight of Gilgamesh's demise filled Lawrend with nothing but anger. He wanted him to die with regret. He tried to be kind to the man, but he saw his kindness as a sign of weakness instead.
It was infuriating and the thought of him interrupting him earlier only fueled that anger further.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Gilgamesh panicked. He controlled his magic and tried to push them out of his body, but to no avail did it work. The liquid slowly invaded deeper in his body as it followed his blood vessels.
He could sense that death was fast approaching.
"I won't die like this!"
Gilgamesh was unwilling. Similar to a protagonist in an anime, he bursted with willpower. His mind went significantly faster, and he found a way to reverse this situation.
He started stealing control of the liquid from Lawrend.
"Ah!"
Lawrend staggered as he floated. He could feel Gilgamesh's attempt to steal his planetary system from him. His soul wasn't something to be trifled with.
It might not have become strong like his soul, but it was still the soul of a Heaven Demon. It was filled with his Will and his long life.
"Y-You're going to die here, Lawrend!" Gilgamesh shouted in a raspy voice.
He could sense that he was able to control this liquid. Bit by bit, he was able to stop them from advancing deeper into his body. He knew that he was correct to try to take control of it.
If it was outside his body, it would've been hard, but inside his body, it was very easy. It was his body, so it was his territory. Anything in it was his, and so was the foreign liquid that seeped into his skin!
"You're quite annoying."
Lawrend was worried too. He was trying to stop Gilgamesh from taking over, but he was far away from the liquid, and it was in Gilgamesh's body.
"If that's how you want to do it, so be it!"
Lawrend's soul body turned into mist, and he headed for Gilgamesh's body. He would possess his body and have a fight with him inside of his mind. At least, Lawrend was confident of his victory inside.
This was his best chance since Gilgamesh was busy fighting against the liquid. He wouldn't be able to fully lock his body from Lawrend.
His soul was living in a house with shattered windows and broken walls. Lawrend could easily walk in!
"Ahahaha!" Lawrend laughed crazily.
He entered Gilgamesh's body and flew past some of his planetary system that was in a liquid state. He avoided Gilgamesh's soul and invaded his mind.

Lawrend opened his eyes and found himself in an empty space. Gilgamesh was sitting cross-legged in the middle. He sensed Lawrend's arrival and confusedly opened his eyes.
"What are you doing here!?"
Gilgamesh hadn't been in here, but he instinctively knew that this was his mind. It was simply because it was a part of him.
"If I can't win outside, I shall win inside," Lawrend calmly replied.
He walked to him slowly.
"Haha!"
Gilgamesh laughed at Lawrend's words. He found it funny because he knew that this was inside of his body. It was easy-peasy for him to squash Lawrend.
"You're mistaking something. My soul isn't as weak as yours."
An evil smirk formed on Lawrend's lips. He continued his relaxed steps and that added a sense of evilness to him, like a villain that was slowly coming to claim the life of his victim.
Gilgamesh paused, and the laugh on his face quickly turned into fear.
Now that he paid more attention, he could sense that something was different regarding Lawrend's soul. It was as if it was better than his.
"Impossible!"
Gilgamesh couldn't believe that an Earth Demon could have a better soul than him. Even if he factored in that Lawrend was a human and demon hybrid, that shouldn't be the case.
"Is that because you're a half-demon!?"
"No, of course not."
"Was it that treasure!?"
"That wasn't a treasure. It was something I made with my understanding of magic. You were lusting over something that would never be yours. Even if you take control of it, it would only turn back to mana."
Lawrend chuckled. He reached arm's length in front of Gilgamesh. He looked up and down at the man. He had a nice body that Lawrend was envious of.
"You're kidding!"
Gilgamesh couldn't believe it. He thought that Lawrend was talented because of that treasure. He couldn't believe that it was because he was ACTUALLY THAT TALENTED.
It was the biggest blow Gilgamesh had ever felt in his life. Or at least for the last few moments of his life.
"Goodbye."
Lawrend waved his hand, and Gilgamesh's soul was ripped to shreds.
"What a stupid demon. My Aezel is smarter than you. No wonder women became the dominant gender here," Lawrend sneered.
He regained control of his liquid planetary system and also took control of Gilgamesh's body.
.

. . .
. . . .
. . . . .
He opened his eyes and looked at his muscular arms. He moved clumsily, and he felt a constant migraine. This wasn't his body, so it was natural that it was incompatible with his soul.
If it were that easy, he would've been possessing more people. It was also why Valentina simply occupied his mind and never tried to take control of his body.
Since she was a female, it would only make the side effect worse for her.
